Hi, I’m experiencing exactly the same problem. I have noticed that CPU activity increased considerably after resizing my Droplet (to take advantage of the benefits their new plans).
Recently I opened a ticket to follow up on this situation (so far, they have followed my report… but there has not been a solution).
In fact… researching a bit, I found this tweet (so I deduce that I’m not the only one who has this reduction in performance): https://twitter.com/Arajdon/status/955104912907689984
My tests: Just before resizing my Droplet, I took a Snapshot from this one.
As a test, I created a new Droplet from that image in same datacenter -SFO2- (I was assigned a new public IP). Once created, I subjected it to an equal load of intensive to the usual and runs perfectly (it was not perceived excessive CPU load).
Once that I proved that my Snapshot worked well and stably, I decided rebuilt my main Droplet (which presents the problem) expecting it to work fine, but I still have the same problem having an excessive CPU load.
As an additional detail, I have noticed that Droplet’s boot takes too long whitout apparent reason (60 secs aproxly, when it regularly was loading in 15 secs at most).
A very practical solution for me would be to create a new Droplet from my Snapshot. The drawback is that I need to keep my public IP assigned initially.
Thanks!

I cant find proper solution of “High CPU usage” Anyone DO expert help me??
Looks like the problem is still there. :-/ I see 8 node processes and 4 pm2 process running. Stopped them all, restart pm2, strapi and nginx. But get just a 502 error in the browser.
I got this problem too, $5 droplet with 8 wordpress domain. every single day got notification high cpu consumption. Web cannot be access when cpu reach 100% or more. :(
Then, I was create back up all my domain. Destroy and create new one. Using openlitespeed, php 7, mariaDB and wordpress (install yourself) not using one-click install, now my CPU always below 33% with 9 wordpress domain :)
My guess, when you create droplet and install server automatically, DO provide everything possibility will be use on your server, just maybe :)
So if you familiar with linux server, maybe you can investigation your web server system. But i’m not familiar with linux :)
